Grade 2 MAP score?

My child is in grade 2 and scored a 185 on her Math MAP which is 78th percentile. However, all of her categories are in the 190 range (“high”) except geometry/measurement which is apparently a common area for kids that age to struggle since they haven’t done much. Even with her percentile, but having all but one category high, would that be a good indicator on AAP? She also scored 98th percentile on NNAT in grade 1 and grade 2 they just took NGAT so don’t know…

To be fair, every kid took the same basic MAP test, with questions getting more difficult or easier based on kids answers. There are kids in your childs class that scored in the 99th percentile with the same classes that your child has. It is normal for there to be an area that is lower then others but for the geometry score to be some much lower to drag a 190 average in the other 3 areas to a 185 total is strange.
